Hi

I am new to XML Schema and new to this forum.

I have the following requirement.

I have to validate tags present in an XML instance conditionally using a Schema.

My actual requirement can be explained with the example given below.

Say I have tags NAME, STATUS, SPOUSE_NAME, CHILDREN

My Schema should work as follows.

1. NAME must be present.

2. STATUS must be present and it can take values MARRIED, UNMARRIED

3. If STATUS is MARRIED then

* SPOUSE_NAME must be present

* CHILDREN is optional

4. If CHILDREN is present then

* SPOUSE_NAME must be present

* STATUS must be present and it must be MARRIED

5. SPOUSE_NAME and CHILDREN can occur in any sequence

6. If STATUS is UNMARRIED then

* SPOUSE_NAME must be absent

* CHILDREN must be absent

Can anybody help me in preparing a schema which validates all the above rules.

Thanks in advance
Sri

Hi Sri,

Have you got this issue resolved? I try to do something similiar and not sure how to do it.

Thanks,
